Buddhist Prelates alarmed over draft constitution: Dinesh

UPFA Joint Opposition group leader MP Dinesh Gunawardena stated that a draft of a Constitution had been distributed during a recently held conference at the BMICH. The Most Venerable Mahanayaka theros have got alarmed over Article 9 of the Constitution.

He was speaking in Parliament. He added that the Prime Minister cannot deny that there is a proposal by some elements to amend the particular article. How can anyone deny this reality? The Cabinet spokesman Rajitha Senaratne has no right to state that the Mahanayaka theros have nothing to worry about.
